User Reviews & Opinions on Vipre Antivirus Premium 4.0

[vicnard12]

to all techies/users/reviewers:

i want to shift to another system security software in my pc. i want to try a new line of defense for my machine. at present, am running avast internet security 5.0 + MBAM + MSE.

browsing the net, i found this Vipre Antivirus Premium 4.0 as the latest release and being recommended highly on some review sites, PCMag in particular.

i use my machine mainly for internet browsing (including exchange of some critical id's like e-shopping) and online gaming.

would you recommend this system security app? or you have a better suggestion to use? or want me to stick to my current line of defense?

TYIA!

Why are you using both Avast and MSE? They'll conflict with each other.

I highly recommend Vipre Anti-Virus for Windows xp and 7. I have the all you can eat version of Vipre premium for my home machines and I have not noticed any problems in a year or so. It is fast and not intrusive except when you attempt to go to a site that has bad guys on it. It also check email and attachments and lets you know that they are bad if it finds bad guys in the attachments.

I don't have any financial interest in GFI software, they bought sunbelt software vipre people.

hi there. thanks for your reply. luckily, i haven't got any conflicting issues of using them both at the same time. its been 1year now since they were running together in my system.

i really just wanna try new security stuffs under the hood man.

thanks tho.

thanks rich. those are the advantages of Vipre according to most users/reviewers who posted their share on other websites. i'll have it written on my list of options.

thanks again!

I used their software, detection and malware removal were good but their tech support was very bad...
Running more than 1 AV at the same time might conflict and cause BSODs

 

[vicnard12]

hello yowan..

thanks for the info.

well i guess, running MSE + MBAM is better than having AIS + MBAM + MSE.. fair enough, i should try that tho before i change AV.

recommendations?

 

[yowanvista]

AIS + MBAM is enough, so no need to add MSE to the list
In my case I only run a weekly scan of MBAM since my AV is pretty good in terms of malware detection

 

[vicnard12]

thanks again yowan. that seems like a sound idea re: security.

i might get KIS2011 to be paired with my MBAM. MBAM does the job for me, hands down!

i just get curious about Vipre after reading the internet reviews..

I am running the same setup as you have now (Avast,MSE, MBAM) and have had no conflicts and rock solid protection there is no way I will be changing.

 

[vicnard12]

thanks kodi.

same here, never had issues too. but if i could get the best option for my machine and preferences via the expert techies around, i wouldn't mind changing either. its just that, technology evolves rapidly, as well as the cyber "bad" guys.. just thought that there might be some others getting in top spot security service from time to time.

again, thanks kodi..

I too recommend Vipre Anti Virus. Its very effective and light weight.

Hi Rich,

I personally bought VIPRE Antivirus myself for 3 of my home PC's and they've never run faster. I belive they were recently bought out by GFI but it still seems pretty good and I'm happy with the virus detection system too.

I got a discount (VIPRE Antivirus Coupon - For those intrested. ) every little helps regarding VIPRE's GUI its very nice and effective and there support seems quite good too, it's a simple web forum similar to this one but it works quite well and issues are delt with by the creators of the software. -- Here is there support forum if anyone is wondering GFI Support.

Great Software overall.

I'm running VIPRE with Malwarebytes with no issue too. :huh:

OP, Norton Internet Security 2011 seems to be pretty nice too, same with Antivirus 2011.

You could always just download each trial after the other one ended and buy the one you like the most.

I was using MSE and never had any bad reports when I did a full scan. After reading about Vipre I downloaded the trial and did a full scan, Vipre found 7 trojans on my computer
